It was devastating! I was so shocked. I agree--if I'd known he was only in half of this season I think I would have been a little more prepared, but wow. The shock actually made me want to go back and watch the earlier seasons just for him because I hadn't realised how attached I was!
Oh, yes, good point! She had the abortion! Yeah, actually the story makes much more sense when you realise that it's playing to an audience that expects the girl to eventually decide to have the baby... that moment when Becky said 'I can't look after the baby' was really moving because it was her own conclusion.
